Pythons installed under WinXP has dirs such as DLL, DOC, include, etc., but python (2.5) installed with cygwin is bare python.exe. My motivation is to ask that “things” under XP do not seem to find “other things” under cygwin and vice versa, I want to start development with Qt, I like shells, and I don't like MS; I thought that if I had all the components under one roof, I could finally start creating scripts that could find files, etc. 1. Can I just copy the contents of the XP installation to the cygwin tree? 2. Is the taste of XP Python different from that of cygwin? (The same CPU, he pointed out naively.) 3. Someone should work with a full-fledged one (if the snakes had feathers ...) Python is a qigwin inside; how it's done?
Disclaimer 1: I have never compiled anything under XP or cygwin; hoped that he would not have to go there, therefore, python in the first place. Failure 2: Sorry if this is a ServerFault issue, but they seemed to be system people, and this (in my case) is a low desktop.
